My programs versions are following: * gnome-volume-manager-1.5.15-r1 * gnome-mount-0.4-r3 * hal-0.5.7-r2 * udev-090 My problem is that cdrom do not automatically mount. Maybe, other devices, such as usb, digital camera, so do. My account belongs to plugdev, cdrom, and so on. However, there is the problem. Therefore, I tried to mount through gnome-mount manually. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ c0d3h4ck@disys18 ~ $ gnome-mount -vtd /dev/hdc gnome-mount 0.4 ** (gnome-mount:15109): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_Gentoo_Linux_2006_0_x86_LiveCD with mount_point='Gentoo Linux 2006.0 x86 LiveCD', fstype='', num_options=1 ** (gnome-mount:15109): DEBUG: option='uid=1000' ** (gnome-mount:15109): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_Gentoo_Linux_2006_0_x86_LiveCD org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied : A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal") ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, I found why gnome-mount don't mount cdrom automatically. I investigated /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf. There are a policy that allow plugdev group to access 'Hal.Device.Volume'. However, it do not work well. Hence, I added a policy that I describe at below. <policy user="c0d3h4ck"> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/> <allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/> </policy> After I added the policy, I restarted dbus, and then I could mount cdrom in gnome. Although above solution is not regular, the policy that I added states that dbus or hal has some problem. Thanks you for your time.

do you have cdrom specified in fstab?
In regardless of fstab, I heard that gnome-volume-manager can mount cdrom by depending on hal. Therefore, I removed cdrom entry in fstab.
Reassigning to Gentopia since we handle HAL
Closing bug as invalid. The correct thing to do is to add your user to the "plugdev" group. The "plugdev" group is universally used and is the proper group to be in. The other option is to use pam_console support. (required for NetworkManager) or to use "touch /var/run/console/$user in" /etc/conf.d/local.start if you have a single user system... This little annoyance will be fixed once PolicyKit comes to Portage but unfortunately it's waaaaaaay too much of a moving target to make it to Portage right now
